A Special Day ♥

Flower Girl mixed media/photomontage Hi there! It's been a few days since I've posted. I have been hiding out, working very hard on a new body of work, so excited for it! This is Flower Girl I thought she would be appropriate for today's post. Today is my 4 year wedding anniversary! I am happily married to a wonderful man who is so supportive of everything I do, including my art. I love you Gordo . "I announce and declare my intention to give you my deepest friendship and love... not only when your moments are high...but when they are low... not only when you remember clearly Who you Are... but when you forget... not only when you are acting with love... but when you are not...". "It is my intention to stay with you forever.." Part of our vows from the book Conversations with God . ♥

Faces n' Fashion...

I have neglected my space for a bit, life just gets in the way sometimes and so does sleep - ha. Ahhh! I have fallen behind, so 30 Faces in 30 Days has officially turned into 30 Faces Anytime *wink,wink . Man, it's difficult to keep up with them especially when you tend to be a perfectionist - grhh. But I am determined to complete my 30 faces regardless of how long it may take. I have some plans to create something fun with all the faces... stay tuned! For these faces I wanted to have fun with fashion, textures and color while keeping a looseness to the drawings. I had so much fun with these and decided I will create more (after my 30 faces) and start playing with postures, poses and fashion. I'm a sucker for fashion but never really worked on fashion illustration before - yes, another thing to add to my to do lis

More Faces...

I could have gone on and on with these little drawings but I stopped myself and moved on to other things. I decided to be whimsy with these faces and stayed with one style this time around, as last week I felt I was a bit all over the place. Did I mention how difficult 30 Faces In 30 Days is? whoa! I guess one of my challenges is focus, I realized I prefer a more cohesive look so sticking with one style this time around really helped me focus. This was also great practice for my character faces, making sure there was a consistency to the drawings. Although my mind tends to wonder off to other things as I work, this series really had my full attention. These were just lots of fun. Oh, and Face #9 – My Valentine , can also
